Proverbs 26:23-26
Evangelical Heritage Version
Proverbs 26:23-26
Evangelical Heritage Version
23 Fervent[a] lips and an evil heart
are like a glaze[b] covering a clay pot.
24 With his lips a person hides his hatred,
but he hides deceit inside.
25 When his voice sounds gracious, do not believe him,
because seven abominations are in his heart.
26 His hatred covers itself with deceit,
but his evil will be revealed in the assembly.
Footnotes
- Proverbs 26:23 The translation follows the Hebrew. The Greek Old Testament reads smooth.
- Proverbs 26:23 The Hebrew text reads silver dross. Combining two Hebrew words into one word yields the translation glaze.
